Great. First, I suffered from Trump Derangement Syndrome. Now, I also have Crockett Adoration Syndrome.
Pam Bondi has been a complete and total failure at her job. The Epstein survivors showed more courage just by being in that room than she did under oath. She refused to answer questions and chose complicity.
America deserves better.

Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.
It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

Here's a fun idea: Let's collectively make Michelle Obama's documentary, "Becoming," #1 on Netflix the same weekend Melania tanks at the box office!

This is absolutely insane. Trump isn’t even trying in the least bit to cover up his corruption. He might as well just start making withdrawals directly from the U.S. Treasury. Pam Bondi can literally just settle this case and hand Trump billions of the American taxpayers dollars. 😡

Trump's letter to PM Store, interpreted:
Dear Jonas, since I don't understand the Nobel process, I am going to finally begin thinking about the good of the USA. Until now, I have only thought about peace -- not golf, not ballrooms, not the many countries that I have bombed. Also, I failed History.
